This is my first real blog. I'll be discussing things about my family, faith and food of course. :) We live on a tight income so I plan to discuss that. Menus and such. I want to be more accountable on doing family devotions so that will be a topic as well.

Spinach, Onion and Mushroom Quiche

This is my favorite quiche. I got the recipe from my good friend, Wendy. It's a basic recipe where you can decide what you want to add to it. It calls for 1 cup of meat and 1 cup of veggies but I use sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions and spinach (I use frozen, thawed in the microwave and squeeze all liquid out of the spinach). I use whatever amount of each I like. I probably sauteed up about 8oz of mushrooms, 2 small onions and used a handful of spinach. This is so yummy. Even the kids love it!

Basic Quiche3 eggs1 can of evaporated milk1 cup of meat1 cup of veggies8oz of cheese1 tsp of mrs dash1 pie crust (I haven't made homemade crust yet, so I use frozen. I do find that with frozen shells, you're going to get some overflow on this so use an old cookie sheet covered with a bit of foil)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together eggs, milk and Mrs. Dash. Then add in your ingredients of choice and cheese. Mix well. Pour into pie shell and bake for about 1 hour. My top got a little dark this time because of a phone call. But your top should be golden brown. Enjoy!

I haven't made a quiche before, either, but I want to try this one. I love them, but they look sort of hard to make. This one sounds pretty straightforward and delish! :) Stopping by from Jen's party. :)

Did you hear that the Duggar's 19th is on the way? Thanks for taking the time to post this. I hope you will join me at Dining With Debbie for Crock Pot Wednesday. Mister Linky is up and ready for you to enter.

There is nothing wrong with buying your pie crust... except that homemade is cheaper and better tasting!

But really, if it means you can get a homecooked meal on the table for your family that is tasty, healthy, and adds variety, who cares if its a "botten" crust?!

I love the "formula" for quiches. It is so easy to customize.

One thing to remember though is that each new variation NEEDS its own name. If I name it, my family thinks its a wonderful new creation instead of a mutation of a basic recipe. When I use shredded zucchini and carrot with crumbled bacon and swiss, I call it Confetti Quiche. When I use chicken, broccoli and mushroom, it is Divan Quiche. Anything with spinach or other greens (which I sneak in often) is a Florentine Quiche. Onion, sausage and potato is Farmer Quiche. Ground beef, onion, cheddar and tomato is Cheeseburger Quiche.
